UNDERGROUND A&R REPORT

WILL BLACK - DANCING WITH THE DEAD

Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea if they've never experienced great original music that is the sum of parts of so many things classic, so retro yet original and refreshing to deserve the credit bestowed upon it. You can hear traditional rock here - Faraway - proudly displayed, making for a fine mix of listening enjoyment. His sense of riff shows in almost all his songs - listen to the parts to Senorita Ballerina...... Will Black has no problem with taking the best parts of lyrical songwriting, in it's own special simplicity, and combining it with nice melody, chorus, and powerchord, to create great pop (for the kids, pop music is rock music intensified through the chorus, choice of phrasing, and melodic theme) . He has a definite Americana sound, which calls back to Born To Run Springsteen, or the better Jackson Brown. He does well with letting the guitar lead in most of his compositions. Honestly, this is the first I've heard of this artist, and it's very impressive. He needs the prefect rocker to set it off. Contact: WillBlack.com
